Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 5. The last topic is about my lessons learnt and the future practice, so the task for this blog post is to reflect on my learning and development during the course. One main question guides my reflection: What are the most important things that I have learnt throughContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learned – future practice”

Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 4. I must confess: Topic 4 was not my favorite topic.

Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 1. One of the aims of topic 1 is to look at my experiences of digital consumption, communication, collaboration, and creation. So far, I was only familiar with the concept of Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants (Prensky, 2001). According to this concept I’m considered to beContinue reading “Topic 1: Online participation & digital literacies”
